## How this workflow is configured

- **What it matches:** Podcasts matching your niche, audience, and guest profile — drawn from 814,000 active shows and refreshed as shows launch, revive, or start booking guests like you.
- **When it looks:** Weekly is the sweet spot for most; monthly for steady-state, daily during a launch tour build-up.
- **Where results go:** A batched list to email or Slack — each show with its topic, format, and why it matched.

## How Workflows work

Tell Featured what to monitor, when to look, and where to send results.

1. **Describe your ideal show** — Topic, audience, format, guest type — plain language. “Shows that interview supply chain operators” is a complete spec.
2. **Featured keeps searching** — The workflow re-runs discovery against 814,000 active shows on your cadence, surfacing new launches, revived feeds, and shows newly booking guests like you.
3. **Pitch from the batch** — Each delivery is pitch-ready — and Featured's chat drafts host outreach referencing real episodes for any show on the list.

## Why run podcast discovery as a workflow

A podcast list is stale the week after you build it. A pipeline never is.

- **814K — The active-show database.** Built by analyzing more than 5 million podcasts and keeping the 814,000 that published within 60 days — the workflow searches all of it, every run.
- **Fresh — Catches what lists miss.** New shows, revived feeds, and format changes appear between your searches. The workflow catches them on schedule so your next pitch targets this month's reality.
- **Batched — A list, not a drip.** Deliveries arrive as a scannable batch — topic, format, and match reason per show — sized for a pitching session, not an unread-notification pile.

## Prefer to search on demand?

The Find Podcasts feature answers one-off searches in chat — the workflow is that search, repeating itself.

## Find Podcasts workflow — frequently asked questions

**What does the Find Podcasts workflow do?**

It re-runs your podcast discovery on a schedule — searching Featured's database of 814,000 active shows for podcasts matching your niche, audience, and guest profile — and delivers a batched list to Slack or email. New shows, revived feeds, and newly guest-friendly formats surface automatically.

**Where does the podcast data come from?**

Featured analyzed more than 5 million podcasts and maintains the 814,000 that are active — meaning an episode published within the last 60 days. It's one of the largest databases of active podcasts available to PR teams, and the workflow searches it fresh on every run.

**How often should it run?**

Weekly suits most guest programs — enough novelty per batch to be worth a pitching session. Go daily while building a launch tour; drop to monthly for steady-state visibility. Cadence changes are one sentence in chat.

**Can it draft the pitches too?**

Yes — have it draft a host pitch for the top match in each batch, referencing real episodes and proposing a specific segment. You review and send. Hosts respond to pitches that prove you've listened; the workflow makes that provable at scale.

**Do I need a paid plan?**

Workflows are part of paid plans — $39/month (Lite) or $79/month (Pro, billed annually); every plan includes every feature, and only usage scales. One-off podcast searches work free in Featured chat, which is a good way to tune your spec before automating it.

**Can agencies run one per client?**

That's the standard setup: a workflow per client niche, each delivering to that client's Slack channel or a shared digest. Podcast research stops being a retainer line-item and becomes a background process with weekly output.

**What arrives in each delivery?**

A batched list of matched shows — what each covers, its format and cadence, and why it matched your spec — sized for action. Tap into chat from any entry to research the host, draft the pitch, or check which episodes to reference.
